‘It Can’t Be True.’ Inside the Semiconductor Industry’s Meltdown - Bloomberg
‘It Can’t Be True.’ Inside the Semiconductor Industry’s Meltdown - Bloomberg: "like Prescher more than a year later, the Graz team was skeptical this was a real flaw. Gruss recalls telling Fogh that the chipmakers would have uncovered such a glaring security hole during testing and would never have shipped chips with a vulnerability like that.
"Despite Fogh’s encouragement, the Graz researchers still didn’t think attacks would ever work in practice. "That would be such a major f*ck-up by Intel that it can’t be possible," Schwarz recalled saying. So the team didn’t dedicate much time to it."

How the industry-breaking Spectre bug stayed secret for seven months - The Verge
How the industry-breaking Spectre bug stayed secret for seven months - The Verge: "“In the ‘90s we used to think one-vulnerability, one-vendor, and that was the majority of the vulnerabilities you saw. Now, almost everything has some multi-party coordination element.” says Moussouris. “This is just what multi-party disclosure looks like.”"

How the industry-breaking Spectre bug stayed secret for seven months - The Verge: "(Fogh said it was clear from the beginning that any workable bug would be disastrous. “When you start looking into something like this, you know already that it’s really bad if you succeed,” he told me. After the Meltdown and Spectre releases and the ensuing chaos, Fogh has decided not to publish any of his further research on the topic.)"

Key Changes with the General Data Protection Regulation
Key Changes with the General Data Protection Regulation: "Under GDPR organizations in breach of GDPR can be fined up to 4% of annual global turnover or €20 Million (whichever is greater). This is the maximum fine that can be imposed for the most serious infringements e.g.not having sufficient customer consent to process data or violating the core of Privacy by Design concepts. There is a tiered approach to fines e.g. a company can be fined 2% for not having their records in order (article 28), not notifying the supervising authority and data subject about a breach or not conducting impact assessment. It is important to note that these rules apply to both controllers and processors -- meaning 'clouds' will not be exempt from GDPR enforcement."
